We have found nothing in the texts forbidding the use of The
Greatest Name, the Names of the Manifestations of God or the names of the
Central Figures of our Faith in the lyrics of music. However, we feel that when
they are used they should be used with reverence and respect, both in the
manner in which they are incorporated in the lyrics and in the manner of
presentation.
